His live performances combine poetry, stand-up comedy, and dramatic monologue. Performance poetryHe participated in the 10th Annual Poetry Slam in Chicago as part of the San Francisco team.[1] In that event, he identifies himself as a "Wussy Boy" in introductions[2] of his performance poem The Wussy Boy Manifesto,[1] a humorous rant which champions sensitive men and elevates Duckie from Pretty in Pink and Lloyd Dobler from Say Anything... to role models.[3] Ms. Magazine named him "an icon for effeminate males"[4] and The Los Angeles Times called him the "leader of a new men's movement."[5] Jacinda Abcarian says his work gives a male's perspective on male bashing.[6] In 2001, he released a 2-disc recording of his work, including the "Wussy Boy Videos" . The Chicago News and Review said the work was "colorful, scathing tirades" with "rapid timing and delivery (namely volume) for maximum impact".[7] Apple ComputerBig Poppa E's video "Why I Got Fired From Apple" received over a million hits on YouTube, Google Video, and MySpace. The clip detailed the uproar over the poem Oh! Canadian FedEx Lady! after it was performed at an Apple Computer employee talent show in 2005, two days after which Big Poppa was fired for undisclosed reasons.[8] The poem was a comedic rant about a male worker in the Apple Computer call center who flirts over the phone with a female Canadian FedEx employee while keeping "rude, mean American customers" on hold. The story of his firing was picked up in various news sources across the Internet and was used as an example of increased scrutiny of employee blogging and vlogging by companies that has led to firings.[9] References1. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/features/slam081899.htm|title=Poets Duke It Out Chicago Contest|last=Teresa Wiltz|date=August 18, 1999|work=The Washington Post|accessdate=19 September 2015}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1999/08/16/books/part-art-part-hip-hop-and-part-circus-slammers-shake-up-an-interest-in-poetry.html?pagewanted=2|title=Part Art, Part Hip-Hop And Part Circus; Slammers Shake Up an Interest in Poetry|last=BRUCE WEBER|date=August 16, 1999|work=The New York Times|accessdate=19 September 2015}} 3. ^{{cite news | author = Jones, Monika | title = Big Poppa E's slam poetry rocks the HUB| url = http://dailyuw.com/2002/5/23/big-poppa-es-slam-poetry-rocks-the-hub/ | archive-url = https://archive.is/20130121060923/http://dailyuw.com/2002/5/23/big-poppa-es-slam-poetry-rocks-the-hub/ | dead-url = yes | archive-date = January 21, 2013 | work = The Daily | location = University of Washington | date = May 23, 2002}} 4. ^{{cite news | author = Smith, Patricia | title = Slammed| work = Ms. Magazine | page = 94 | date = August 2001}} 5. ^{{cite news| author = Hanania, Joseph | title = Poet’s Mantra: I Am Wussy Boy, Hear Me Roar!| url = http://articles.latimes.com/2000/aug/27/news/cl-11091 | work = The Los Angeles Times | location = Los Angeles, CA | page = E1 | date = August 27, 2000}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://savvytraveler.publicradio.org/show/features/2000/20000115/poetry.shtml|title=The Poetry of a New Generation|last=Jacinda Abcarian|work=Savvy Traveler|publisher=National Public Radio|accessdate=19 September 2015}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.newsreview.com/chico/big-poppa-e/content?oid=7464|title=Review: Bootleg Live - Big Poppa E|last=Chris Baldwin|date=December 20, 2001|work=Chico News & Review|accessdate=19 September 2015}} 8. ^{{cite news|author=Singer, Michael |title=Ex-Apple Employee's Firing Makes For Great YouTube Video |url=http://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2007/02/exapple_employe.html |work=Information Week's Digital Life Weblog |date=February 24, 2007 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101125055634/http://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2007/02/exapple_employe.html |archivedate=November 25, 2010 }} 9. ^1 {{cite news|author=Cornell, Christopher |title=Internet Complicates HR Decisions |url=http://www.hrexecutive.com/HRE/story.jsp?storyId=4790111 |work=Human Resource Executive Online |date=March 29, 2006 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314053313/http://www.hrexecutive.com/HRE/story.jsp?storyId=4790111 |archivedate=March 14, 2012 }} External links{{Commons category|Big Poppa E}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Big Poppa E}} 5 : American spoken word poets|Living people|1967 births|Slam poets|21st-century American poets |
